My guests this week are Florida rapper Denzel Curry and British producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Bobby Krlic AKA The Haxan Cloak. We spoke about Nightcrawler, Collateral, their mutual appreciation for Takashi Miike, their respective paths through music, the power of being yourself, and the creative process behind Bobby’s score for the new horror film HIM and Denzel’s contribution to the soundtrack’s titular song. Come fuck with us.

HIM (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Follow Denzel on Instagram (@denzelcurryph), Twitter (@denzelcurry), and TikTok (@denzelxcurry). Follow Bobby on Instagram: @thehaxancloak
